Optically induced switching of azobenzene containing self assembling monolayers investigated by Kelvin probe and scanning force microscopy

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/10587250108023673

The light induced switching of self-assembled monolayers containing azobenzenes is observed in situ by the Kelvin probe method. The switching process is optimized by preparing monolayers from mixed solutions of azobenzene thiols and n- alkylene thiols. In
